BIG MILL PROJECT
Street Lumber Company to Build
at Warrenton.
RAILROAD TO TAH NEHALEM
Street Lumber Company, Purchases Tide
Lands at Warrenton For Mill Site
Will Build Railroad Into
Nehalem Country.
Prospect are bright for the estab
lishment of another big sawmill on
the lower Columbia river. It has been
reliably reported that the Street Lum
ber Company, which owns large tract I
nf imW land un Vmim' river and
on the Nelialeni river has purchased
from Hiram Gray of Warrenton his tide
lands. This immense traet comprises
two hundred acres and lies just north of
the A. & C. R. R bridge on the west side
of Young's bay.
The property extends from the shore j
'se to deep water frontage ou the Co- i
lumbia, and is an ideal site for the 1
proposed location of the mills
It is the intention of the company
which has purchased this land to begin
the actual work of construction as soon
as possible. The Street Lumber Com
pany is known as one of the largest
lumber .concerns on the Pacific Coast.
only surpassed in the amount of busi -
ness done by the Weyhauser interests
The proposed mill which the company
is to build will outrival in capacity
of the Tongue Point Mill.
The mill with it's attendant advant
ages will not however be the most im
portant part of this big project, for in
addition to putting in the big sawmill,
the company will build a railroad from
Deep Water to Nehalem tapping their
rich timber lands in this part of the
tjtate, and opening up this hitherto un
developed territory for commercial pur
poses. It is stated that the company al
ready has the route of the projected line
urveyed and intends to put the road
through along irith the building of the
mill.
With the entering of the Street Lum
ber Company's road into the Nehalem
country .that section is bound to go
forward with great strides, and the long
cherished hope of Astorians for a rail
connection with the country South of
this city will be realize1. The fad is
what has been needed and wished for,
in years, and it's accomplishment por
tends great things for Astoria, Warren
ton, and this whole section.

(ieoiye Well, the oldest cruiser and

years ago. lie lias nut heen heie since
until Saturday. He had an appointment
with a railroad engineer to meet him on
the South Hend train and get off he
tween IV Kll and Pry ad but the engi

Wells came on to South Iteml, Mr
Wells is now 71 years old but still tol

great faith in the future of South Hend

Mr. Wells was first brought here by
Herman Tiott, the prime mm or in the
Sea Haven Land Company and Mr. Well
cruised out the route for the railroad
which -Hiu Hill was going to build to
Sea Haven back in IS',) I and Mr. Wells
says that it would have been built
but for the Haling Brothers' I'ailuiv in
Ktigland which made it impossible to
float the bond and brought on the haid

it will come through the Cowlitz pass.

FOR ARMY BALLOON
France Buys American Rights on
Flying Machine.
CORPS OF SCOUTS FORMED
la War Tune Intended to Send Party
up in Air to Get a Line on the
Position of Enemy Lieuten
ants Must Take Course.
PARIS, March 25. France is known
as the country with a frugal mind, and
the fact that she has actually paid
over $250,000, a first installment of
1 .(K0,0K), for the French rights in an
American flying machine, goes far to
ward signifying tlut there must be
something in the invention.
The device was originated by the
Wright brothcr of Ohio, and is aid
to differ from most of the other aerial
machines in that it lias no balloon at
tachment, but k -eps itself up by screw
propnllers, rising .igain-t the v.iml as a
kite rises, nnd being diiigible and man-!
ag-able in those high spaces. France
has so much confidence In the invention
that it would like to control the Eu
ropean rights for it, but th--e the own
ers do not like to part with, though they
may go so far as to give it a monopoly
of them so far as rival nations are con
cerned. Even if many disappointments foi-bid
too sudden an embrace of the faith that
the device is all right and i J!"ing to
revolutionize warfare, as well as to pro
vide a cheap and wholesome recreation
for everybody, going far beyond the
automobile and the bicycle, we may
still admit that the possibilities of its
success hover in its wake and that it
it may really be the solution of tne
problem.
At any rate, Fiance has gone so far
in this balloon business that "balloon
scouts" are to form a new corps of offi
cers in the French army. Lists of ap
plicants are to be drawn up by the gen
erals commanding districts, and for
warded to the war office at once. The
appointments will be made solely among
lieutenants of field and siege artillery.
The " observateurs en balloon," as the
air scouts are to be called, will not be
concerned with aeronautics proper, but
will act on board only as lookouts for
strategic purposes.
The success of the aerial rcconnoiter
ing along the eastern frontier effected
with the Lebaudy navigable airship
seems to have sugge-ted the idea of
forming these specialized balloon
scouts. They will be required for ob
taining rapid information of an enemy's
position before or in action, and more
generally for quick and accurate to
pographical surveying. The essential
qualifications laid down are, therefore,
besides light weight, particularly good
sight and proficiency in speedy topo
graphical drawing. The lieutenants ap
pointed will have to go through a three
months' course in military ballooning
with the speial battalion of aeronaut
engineers.

of Exalted P.uler Malcom Burger, and
during which the patriarchal friend of
the dead man, Rev. Dr. Clapp, of Port
land, interpolated a devout and thrilling
prayer for the blessedness of his
friend's eternal happiness, after which
the solemn journey to the graveside was
takn up, and the mourning host moved
upward among the hills that lie to the
south of Rainier, and thcrri, in the
peaceful quiet of the dying day, all that
was mortal of the late Martin Both
was committed to the care of old Mother
Earth, the Pythian lodge east ing t heir
evergreen memorials into the giuve as
the sextons slowly filled the grave. It
was all a beautiful and meaningful
sight, and gave to every man present,
an inspiration to better nnd happier
ideals. And there they left, him, alone
with his maker, in the golden silence
of the fleeting day.

He says of his case: "Owing to severe

me up to die, when, as a last resort, I
was induced to try Dr. King's New Dis
